DSL has a distance limitation. The distance has improved over the last few years but it is also partly based upon the quality (age) of the copper wire that runs to your house from the CO (CO=central office).
Unless you are totally surrounded by tall trees, you can get satellite broadband. Hughesnet is currently offering free installs. I used a Pahoa zip code on their web site to check. More expensive than DSL, but with the way graphics are being used now (except this forum) it is about the only option you have.
808blogger is correct. It is relatively easy for 2 or more people to share a connection. A few hundred $ investment pays off for all involved.
